* IShallTauntYou: Exploits [[Determinator Kallus' determination]] to his advantage. Once Kallus gets over it, he gains the upper-hand against Jovan.
* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: Doubts that Kallus can go the whole way to capture him and when he ''does'', he asks if he would actually gun down an unarmed man.

!!Lieutenant Jovan

->'''Appears in:''' ''Kallus' Hunt''

An Imperial officer stationed on Garel. He was an old friend of Kallus back in the Imperial Academy on Coruscant. Due to playing the Imperial system to secure riches for himself, this gets him charged with treason and taken to Lothal, where coincidentally, Kallus is currently stationed.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Kallus apparently was a terrible student back in the Academy, who according to Jovan always lost in their academy exercises. Only under Jovan's wing did he manage to graduate at all. This becomes Jovan's downfall, as Kallus manages to outsmart him, getting him in prison.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Kallus. They still seem to hold some respect for each other in the end, though.

* InterserviceRivalry: He has a low opinion of the Imperial Security Bureau and he specifically gives the kill order on Ezra Bridger mainly because he doesn't want to admit Agent Kallus was right to be so cautious.

* MascotMooks: Stormtrooper armor is one of the most iconic designs in ''Star Wars'', and they show up constantly in the movies, the [=EU=], and in marketing materials. Even in the Legends continuity, where Stormtroopers are supposedly EliteMooks who actually make up only a small portion of Imperial infantry, they're absolutely ubiquitous while "Imperial Army troopers" are nowhere to be seen.

* FacelessGoons: Averted. In fact, they're one of the only kind of Imperial troops with visible faces.

* StalkerWithACrush: While his feelings for Ciena are not stalkerish at first, as time goes on he seems to become more and more obsessed with her, even managing to end up as flight coordinator on the ''Inflictor'' when it is assigned to her, with him happily noting it means they will get to see each other everyday from then on. Ciena, who by that point despises the Empire, is both creeped out and grateful for his feelings, since they are the only thing preventing Nash from realizing she no longer believes in the Empire and turning her over to the [[StateSec ISB]].

A teacher at the Imperial Academy on Carida, Seitaron is brought back into active service shortly before the Battle of Hoth by Prelate Verge of the Advisory Council in order to assist in the hunt for Everi Chalis, a former Imperial advisor who defected to the Rebellion and whom Seitaron had dealt with in the past.

A backwater agrarian planet in the Outer Rim, the Empire takes a special interest in its mineral deposits and begins increasing its troop garrison. As Governor Tarkin notes, these resources are vital to fueling the Imperial Military.

* DisproportionateRetribution: A fruit merchant he's harassing for ID tells him that things were better before the Empire. He decides to have the guy ''arrested for treason''.

* DrillSergeantNasty: Well he is the commandant of a military academy after all and he is a rather unpleasant person.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: Alongside Grint. He serves as the "brains" of the duo.
* TheUnfettered: What he wants his cadets to become; encouraging ruthless behavior and a willingness to climb over others to get results along with prioritizing victory. Take a look at the above the quote for an example.

* DumbMuscle: He's considered to be less intelligent than a typical Imperial Officer, but makes up for that shortcoming with his size and brute strength.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/LiamOBrien
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''

-->''"Get those crates out of here! Keep them secure at all costs!"''

Hailing from the Outer Rim world of Garel, Lyste is the overseer of inventory and distribution of weapons and supplies on Lothal.

* SeventiesHair: Like many Imperial officers, he has rather prominent sideburns.
* CrazyPrepared: Unlike most Imperial officers, Lyste doesn't underestimate the rebels and consistently has extra security forces or other precautionary measures in place. When Leia's ships land on Lothal, he notes that Alderaanian vessels have an unfortunate habit of being stolen by the rebels and immediately has gravity clamps attached to their landing struts, has an entire garrison present to guard them, and drops off a couple [=AT-ATs=] just to be safe.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears very briefly in ''[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsSparkOfRebellion Spark of Rebellion]]'' before he makes his first prominent appearance in ''[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E02FighterFlight Fighter Flight]]''.
* {{Jerkass}}: In addition to his supply job, he oversees the seizure of land from Lothal farmers. He does this by opening fire on the farms while the farmers are standing right next to them, then capturing the farmers for relocation.
* MookLieutenant: He is in charge of a lot of the day-to-day Imperial military activities on Lothal.
* RankUp: By "[[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E10APrincessOnLothal A Princess on Lothal]]" he has been promoted to Lieutenant from Supply Master. Due to the death of several of his superior officers, this makes him one of the highest Imperial authorities on the planet.
* WorthyOpponent: In her journal, Sabine Wren express some respect for him when she notes that Lyste is much more competent than the average Imperial officer on Lothal, since he actually takes the time to make preparations and increase the number of guards on his operations in anticipation of Rebel attacks.

[[folder:Valen Rudor]]
!!Baron Valen Rudor (LS-607)
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/valon_rudhor_sw_2234.png]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Greg Ellis
->'''Appears in:''' ''Ezra's Gamble'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''

-->''"Get your hands off my craft! This fighter is property of the Empire!"''

A famed TIE fighter pilot from Corulag, Baron Valen is currently stationed on Lothal, testing TIE products produced by the local Sienar Fleet Systems factory.

* ButtMonkey: You can pretty much guarantee that if this man appears, he's going to lose his TIE fighter to the crew of the ''Ghost'' in some fashion. In "Empire Day", he just so happens to be named the pilot of a TIE Advanced v1 Prototype Fighter which is blown up before he can so much as touch it.
* CustomUniform: As a baron, his dress flight suit has red stripes on the arms and legs.
* DisproportionateRetribution: See EvilIsPetty below.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Gets one in "Entanglement," and then one again in "Property of Ezra Bridger." It isn't until Empire Day that we learn his real name when he's named as the demonstrating pilot for the Tie Advanced v1 Prototype.
* EvilIsPetty: Ezra steals two components from Rudor's run-of-the-mill Tie/LN, as well as his helmet. Rather than drawing his sidearm and firing at Ezra for it, he proceeds to open fire with the laser cannons of the downed Tie.
* FantasticRacism: Refers to Zeb as a monster.
* InformedAbility: He's been described as one of the Empire's best pilots. Now only if he could hold onto a ship long enough to prove it. [[ButtMonkey He always seems to have the worst luck with the]] ''[[ButtMonkey Ghost]]'' [[ButtMonkey crew]] (justified in that he's a pilot and not a soldier). Also, the claims to fame have so far come only from [[PropagandaMachine HoloNet News]] and Minister Maketh Tua.
* {{Jerkass}}: When Ezra is pretending to help rescue him from his crashed TIE fighter, Rudor arrogantly tells him he doesn't need any help even though he is trapped in his cockpit.
-->'''Ezra:''' Hey, don't say thank you or anything.\\
'''Rudor:''' Thank you? Please! I'm an officer of the Imperial Navy. I didn't need your help!
* OhCrap: His reaction to Zeb demolishing an entire Stormtrooper squad by himself is to panic and desperately call for reinforcements.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: Subverted. He was reassigned to Lothal, not as punishment (at least, not allegedly), but with the promise of getting to test some of the Empire's newest technology [[note]]specifically a prototype Tie Advanced identical to those flown by the Inquisitors and the direct precursor to Vader's own Tie Advanced x1[[/note]]. However, almost as soon as he was transferred, he hated his post, and that's without the troubles he got into with the rebel cell stationed there.
* WouldHurtAChild: He tries to shoot Ezra [[DisproportionateRetribution after he steals his helmet]]. With ''[[NoKillLikeOverkill anti-vehicle weapons]]''.

* SmallNameBigEgo: He expected other sentient beings to automatically show him respect because he was a stormtrooper.
* ThoseTwoBadGuys: with MB-223, as both of them were relegated to night patrol duty in "Fire Across the Galaxy" for their failure to stop Sabine in "Art Attack".

->'''Voiced by:''' Bryton James
->'''Appears in:''' ''Literature/ServantsOfTheEmpire'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''

An Imperial Cadet at the Lothal Academy whom Ezra befriends. He secretly hates the Empire, and is only operating as a Cadet in order to find out what happened to his sister Dhara (who was also an initiate to the academy, but disappeared under strange circumstances). He teams up with Ezra to rescue fellow Cadet Jai Kell, who is planned to be kidnapped by the Inquisitor.

* BadLiar: Showcased when he tries to distract Kallus by claiming that crates of ''used pod-racer parts'' are being delivered. He's gotten a bit better when we see him again in "Vision of Hope", where he lies that he was chasing Ezra for stolen goods with only a little hesitation
* BlackBestFriend: To Ezra, teaming up with Ezra when they learn that they both have a grudge against the Empire.
* CommutingOnABus: He first appears in "Breaking Ranks", and then reappears six episodes later in "Vision of Hope", where he reveals that he's going to an offworld academy.
* DeadpanSnarker: It's subtle, but there. When Ezra is breaking into Kallus' office to steal the disk, he asks him how he's going to grab it from the air vent. Ezra's response is that he's training to be a Jedi.
-->'''Zare:''' Yeah, right. Who isn't?
* HeroOfAnotherStory: While the crew of the ''Ghost'' are off having adventures, Zare is operating within the Imperials ranks to gather information and find his sister. These are detailed in the ''Servants Of The Empire'' books.
* IChooseToStay: After Ezra and Jai escape, he chooses to stay behind and operate as an informant to the Rebels instead of joining them, knowing that he still needs to find his sister. He also does this for pragmatic reasons, figuring that he can hone his skills before defecting from the Empire and acting as an informant toward the protagonists.
* IWillFindYou: He's trying to find his sister, a model cadet who disappeared from the Academy under suspicious circumstances.
* ReverseMole: He helps the crew of the ''Ghost'' by giving them secret intel about the Empire while operating as a cadet.

An Imperial officer that underwent ISB training under Agent Kallus's tutelage, but after witnessing the horrors that the Empire was willing to commit in the time between and during "Call to Action" and "The Siege of Lothal", she attempted to defect with fellow officer Cogon, with the assistance of Senator Tural.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's more tan than Cogon and Kallus, who are both lighter-skinned.
* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Inverted. She realized the Empire wasn't worthy of serving and protecting due to its actions against its own citizens, but [[EvilMentor Kallus]] believes she foolishly threw her life and future away.
* BeautyMark: Two on the lower right of her cheek.
* {{Expy}}: She's rather similar to Tua (both failing to reach a rebel cell after finding they disagree with the Empire and getting caught in the act by Kallus) and Sabine (young, skilled, but disillusioned Imperials).
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: She's a tan redhead.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Realizes the Empire does not want what's best for its people, but is caught by Kallus before she can join the Klonoid rebel cell.
* DisappointedInYou: Kallus basically says this to her when he confronts her.
* SurpassedTheTeacher: She managed to best '''Kallus''' in single combat. She only loses because she didn't expect him to [[NothingUpMySleeve pull out a stun blaster from under his cuirass]].

[[folder:Cogon]]

An Imperial officer that attempted to defect with Swain after the events of "The Siege of Lothal".

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Left the Empire presumably for the same reasons Swain did; out of disgust of the Empire's actions. They get arrested before they can reach the Klonoid rebel cell.

[[folder:Piers Roddance]]
!!Captain Piers Roddance
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Literature/ServantsOfTheEmpire''

-->''"Disloyal thoughts among Imperial citizens are preludes to disloyal statements. And disloyal statements are preludes to disloyal actions. The earlier the Empire can break this treasonous chain, the more effectively it can prevent the disruption of order."''

A ruthless officer who values technological advancement and utter loyalty as the keys to military strength, Roddance is suspicious of Zare Leonis' presence in the Lothal Academy, noting his numerous connections to rebel elements.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He tries to be this. He's one of those people that talk about things as if they were there when it happened, when really they're just 'well-informed' of them. For example, he gets embarrassed when Ames asks him if he took part in the raid on Galpos II, only for him to admit he merely just read about it.
* FantasticRacism: He has no respect for droids, and takes a lot of pleasure in destroying a decommissioned protocol droid during a live-fire training exercise, and encourages cadets to do the same.
* RankUp: Promoted from lieutenant to captain in between "Edge of the Galaxy" and "Rebel in the Ranks".

[[folder:Chiron]]
!!Lieutenant Chiron

A young and enthusiastic officer stationed at Lothal's Academy for Young Imperials. He befriends Zare Leonis, a young cadet secretly infiltrating the Empire to discover the fate of his older sister.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Agrees with Zare that the circumstances behind his sisters disappearance are suspicious and attempts to help him out in his investigation. Chiron also suggests actually informing Lothal's citizens of changes in Imperial tax codes before arresting them for violating the newly changed laws.
* TokenGoodTeammate: One of the few Imperials on Lothal who is not a {{Jerkass}} and is actually trying to enforce the positive law-keeping virtues of the Empire. Chiron frequently opposes the harsh tactics of his fellow officers when it comes to dealing with dissent on the planet.

[[folder:Currahee]]
!!Sergeant Currahee
-> '''Appears in:''' ''Literature/ServantsOfTheEmpire''

* DrillSergeantNasty
* PetTheDog: While she is rather harsh in degrading her students, she apparently does care for them even if she doesn't show it. She seconded Chiron's recommendation to transfer Zare to Arkanis and gave him a smile when it was accelerated by the Grand Inquisitor's support (unaware of Zare's true intentions and that it was also part of the Grand Inquisitor's investigation on him as well).

!Ryloth Sector Command

[[folder:Delian Mors]]
!!Moff Delian Mors
->'''Appears in:''' ''Literature/LordsOfTheSith'' | ''Mercy Mission''

An Imperial sector governor over the planet Ryloth.

* BrawnHilda: She's pudgy but still somewhat physically imposing.
* BrilliantButLazy: She has very laid back command style, which is highly unusual for an Imperial officer. It comes from the fact that she is in a rut from the death of her wife. The events of the book cause her to drop the lazy part.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Loved her deceased wife dearly, and her death sent her into a spiral of depression and hedonism.
* FantasticRacism: Not of the traditional kind, but she chose her servants because their pale green skin matched the trees, which any way you slice it is extremely objectifying.
* FunctionalAddict: She is a spice user but she is still capable of doing her job. At least, when she is interested or motivated enough to do it.
* TheHedonist: She definitely was enjoying the fruits of her position in Ryloth.
* InsistentTerminology: She refers to her conscripted Twi'leks as ''servants'' not ''slaves''.
* TheLostLenore: Her personal life fell apart following the death of her wife, Murra, in a transport accident on Coruscant, which led to her losing interest in carrying out her duties and simply living in luxury on Ryloth's jungle moon.
* [[AFatherToHisMen A Mother To Her Men]]: Delian Mors actually does care about the soldiers and officers under her command.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: She has been tasked with what the rest of the Imperial Military considers a far-away and unwanted assignment. She treats it as unofficial semi-retirement.
* StraightGay: She is a lesbian, though she does not bring up her sexuality.
* UndyingLoyalty: The Emperor notes that while she may have many flaws, Mors is utterly loyal to the Empire and would not betray it to the Twi'leks.
* VillainProtagonist: A secondary one to Darth Vader in ''Lords of the Sith''.

[[folder:Belkor Dray]]
!!Colonel Belkor Dray
->'''Appears in:''' ''Literature/LordsOfTheSith''

An Imperial Army officer under Moff Mors command, holding complete operational control over Imperial forces on Ryloth.

* AmbitionIsEvil: Dray is only concerned about his own career and advancement and is willing to do anything to further it. [[spoiler:Like leaking information to Cham's rebels]].
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Let's see, not only does he betray Mors' trust but [[spoiler:he sells the Empire out to Cham's rebels and later when things go south he turns on Cham's group]].
* DragonInChief: Mors does little besides lounge around in her moon compound with her slaves, with Dray taking up the task of running Imperial affairs on Ryloth, a situation he is more than happy to exploit.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:Even though Mors could easily capture Dray at the end of ''Lords of the Sith'', she instead opts to destroy his scout craft with a missile since he could reveal the full extent of Mors negligence to the Emperor if taken alive]].
* MookLieutenant: Dray is in charge of Imperial ground forces on Ryloth.
* NonActionGuy: He has not fired a blaster since basic training, and notes that if Cham or Isval tried to kill him at their meeting he would be totally doomed.
* NumberTwo: To Mors.
* OhCrap: Has two notable moments of this in ''Lords of the Sith''. The first is when he realizes that Cham has completely manipulated him for years. The second is when he learns that Cham's assassination plot was not targeting just Senator Orn Free Taa, but Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader.
* SanitySlippage: As the situation on Ryloth worsens and Cham manipulates Dray further, he becomes very clearly mentally unhinged.
* SmugSnake: Dray is a very arrogant man and this arrogance blinds him to the fact that other people are playing him. [[spoiler:Cham is more than happy to point this out]].
* TheStarscream: He is doing his damnedest to undermine Moff Mors and he has got his eye on her job.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He thinks very little of Mors, believing her to be totally incompetent. However, even in their very first scene she catches him off-guard with several questions about the Free Ryloth Movement and has information which he does not, showing that his despite for her has blinded Dray to Mors very real capabilities.
* UnwittingPawn: To Cham, who manipulated Dray for years while Dray thought he was the one doing the manipulation. His realization that Cham has always held all their cards in their arrangement begins Dray's long and very painful downfall.
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:He loses it when his and Cham's plans start coming undone in the end, going from crying to giggling to having a conversation with the corpse of the pilot he shot]].

[[folder:Steen Borkas]]
!!Major Steen Borkas
->'''Appears in:''' ''Literature/LordsOfTheSith''

A officer in command of the Equatorial Communications center on Ryloth.

* ConsummateProfessional: He runs a very efficient operation at the communications center and has a great deal of contempt for ambitious and scheming officers like Dray.
* MajorlyAwesome: Ready to spring into action with only a single squad of Stormtroopers and technicians.
* MookLieutenant: He was in the same class as Moff Mors and unlike Colonel Dray, Borkas is competent and dutiful. Mors immediately regrets that she did not put Borkas in charge of operations.
* PassedOverPromotion: Dray and his cronies were promoted over him, despite Borkas being more loyal and competent than them. Mors comes to regret doing that and apologizes to him.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Mors. He understands that her behavior over the past several years is due to grief over the loss of her wife, and although he admits he was angry about not being promoted and essentially ignored by Mors, Borkas still supports her one-hundred percent.

An Imperial governor in charge of the Anoat Sector, home to Bespin and Hoth, at the time of the Battle of Endor. Also, he is the first post-Endor Imperial warlord in the new canon.

* BigBad: As the military governor of the Anoat Sector he serves as the main antagonist in ''Uprising''.
* BlatantLies: His propaganda broadcasts make it sound like the Empire won at Endor and anybody who says otherwise will be shot.
* BeardOfEvil: He has got a full-on beard and mustache. A few people have commented that he even looks a bit like Arcturus Mengsk.
* EvilSoundsDeep: He has a very deep and commanding voice.
* GeneralRipper: Well, for one thing he has anybody who dares to tell the truth about what happened at Endor shot and he has imposed a total blockade on the Sector, turning it into his own personal fiefdom.

-->''"These yokels act as if they haven't seen a Star Destroyer before!"''

The temporary captain of the ''Ultimatium'' while the regular captain serves on a committee, Sloane is an ambitious and talented officer from Ganthel who is among the first generation of new young officers entering the Imperial navy. Following the events at Gorse, Sloane rises through the ranks of the Empire, becoming an Admiral in command of the ''Vigilence''. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor she attends a gathering of Imperials on Akiva to determine the future of the Empire.

* ArchEnemy: Is becoming one to Kanan Jarrus, going so far as to call him "My Hobby" during her appearance in ''[[Comicbook/StarWarsKanan Kanan]]''.
* BenevolentBoss: Shows a lot of concern for any competent officer under her command, forming a friendship with her longtime shuttle pilot Morna Kee and being very protective of her attaché Adea Rite.
* TheCameo:
** Appears in the short story ''Orientation'' as an officer cadet aboard a training cruiser.
** She appears for a few panels in issue 12 of ComicBook/StarWarsKanan.
* ConsummateProfessional: While Sloane is ambitious and wants to advance in the Imperial military, her primary concern is carrying out the Empire's will and enforcing its laws while acting composed and efficient. Thus, she gets rather frustrated by Count Vidian's ruthless and seemingly random actions, Chamas being a gossip, Deltic's obvious insanity, and her repeated interactions with Kanan, who enjoys trolling her immensely.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: She manages to see through just about all of Wedge's tricks when he jumps into the Akiva system on a covert recon mission.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
-->'''Ottkreg:''' We're under attack!\\
'''Sloane:''' That's a common hazard during space battles.
* TheDragon: To Vidian during the mission to Gorse, and he ensures her loyalty by promising support in getting her captaincy of the ''Ultimatium'' made permanent. Later he even offers to help her become the youngest Admiral in the fleet, [[spoiler:which tips Sloane off on the fact that he is lying to her since the idea of her being a Admiral under thirty is ridiculous]].
** At the end of ''Aftermath'', Sloane is revealed to be reporting to [[spoiler:an unnamed fleet admiral who she had told the other Imperials on Akiva was dead]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She may be ruthless and ambitious, but she is taken aback by Vidian's plan to destroy Cynda to mine the thorilide easier, although this will destabilize Gorse and put the population at risk. She's willing to go through with it if it does benefit the Empire, [[spoiler:and when she discovers that Vidian altered the tests to show the thorilide wouldn't be destroyed she calls off the destruction of the moon and orders Vidian arrested]]. She is also creeped out by Lieutenant Deltic, who is far to eager to blow up Cynda.
* {{Expy}}: Currently shaping up to be one of Gilad Pellaeon, as she ordered the Imperial Navy's retreat from Endor and [[spoiler: is becoming the trusted subordinate to a mysterious fleet admiral with a [[WickedCultured taste for art]]]].
* FourStarBadass: Sloane gets hands-on with the violence a few times in ''Aftermath''. First, when she notices Jas watching the satrap's palace, Sloane immediately goes to the shuttle's weapons station and opens fire on her instead of ordering a stormtrooper to do it. Later, she personally leads a group of stormtroopers to [[spoiler:capture Norra, Jas, Sinjir, and Temmin in the sewers, and is the one who finishes off Mr. Bones when it tries to free them]]. Lastly, she effortlessly [[spoiler:kicks Pandion's ass, gutshots him with a blaster, and leaves him for dead in a exploding shuttle while she commandeers his Star Destroyer]].
* KickTheDog: When the Imperials are evacuating Akiva, she refuses to allow the governor and his guards to come with them, even though there's room aboard the shuttle ''and'' the locals will likely kill them in revenge for the governor's pro-Imperial policies, simply because he is [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no longer of any use]] to Empire now that Akiva is falling to the Rebels.
* KnightTemplar: She fully believes in the Empire and its mission to bring order to the galaxy. Even after the Emperor's death, she is determined to see the Empire restored and continue its mission.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: As the ranking admiral at Endor following Piett's death, Sloane recognized the course of the battle as communications were lost with the Endor garrison and the Death Star. She recalled TIE Fighters and ordered a retreat to Annaj.
* OnlySaneWoman: Of the Imperials who gather on Akiva, Sloane is the only one who really tries to stay on task with finding a way to hold the Empire together while the others are more concerned with power plays, protecting their wealth, or offering non-solutions to the problems they face.
* PetTheDog: After capturing Wedge Antilles, she provides him medical treatment and apologizes for shooting him. Sloane is also disturbed by Tashu torturing Antilles.
* PragmaticVillainy: She has no problem blowing up a damaged mining transport (along with its crew) since getting a replacement vessel is quicker than the repair time. But she sees no point in and is disgusted by Vidian's plan to destroy Cynda, [[spoiler:especially once his lies regarding the thorilide surviving are revealed. Sloane is angry that he would sacrifice thousands of lives for his own personal gain and the detriment of the Empire (although she is more pissed that he was planning to pin the blame for everything on her)]].
** In ''Aftermath'', she is infuriated when she sees stormtroopers shooting into a crowd of angry civilians and forces them to stop, knowing that such violence will only further weaken the Empire's image and encourage more rioters.
* PrimAndProperBun: Wears her hair in this style, which is fitting for a no-nonsense, pragmatic, and highly official Imperial officer.
* RankUp: At the end of ''A New Dawn'', her temporary captaincy of ''Ultimatum'' is made permanent as a reward for her actions throughout the novel.
** By the Battle of Endor she's an Admiral.
* SurroundedByIdiots: In ''Aftermath'', the crew of the ''Vigilance'' are not exactly the brightest in the Imperial navy, leaving Sloane very frustrated with their poor performance and panicking at non-threats.
* SympatheticPOV: Her POV contrasts nicely with Vidian's, showing two different kinds of Imperial: Sloane, who is a true believer in the Empire and avoids kicking the dog (most of the time, anyway), and Vidian, who uses the Empire to advance his own interests and KickTheDog all the time. This continues in ''Aftermath'', where she is shown to give medical treatment to captured Rebels and despises several other Imperials who are far worse than her.
* TranquilFury: Nonchalantly shoots her PoliticalOfficer when he smugly comments about how the Rebels are running away (actually getting away from the Death Star, which is about to explode).
* VillainousRescue: When she [[spoiler:orders the Stormtroopers to arrest Vidian and fires on his ship, this allows Kanan, Hera, and Zaluna the opportunity to escape from him and the ship, and also saves Gorse from destruction]].

An admiral and commander of the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Relentless'', the personal vessel of the Grand Inquisitor. He oversees the blockade of Lothal during the hunt for the ''Ghost'' and commands several military operations against the growing Rebel network.
----
* SeventiesHair: Sports rather long sideburns like many of the Imperial officers in ''A New Hope'', although the addition of Konstantine's PornStache takes this trope even further than any of them.
* AscendedExtra: Becomes a part of the main cast of Imperials in the second season of ''Rebels''.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: The awesomely [[AlliterativeName alliterative]] Kassius Konstantine.
* BadBoss: He reassures his tractor beam officer that he knows it was not his fault that he caught Darth Vader's TIE in the tractor beam instead of the ''Ghost''. Then he notes that Vader will not know that.
* DoesNotLikeMagic: He dislikes working with Inquisitors, dismissing them as "mystics". He doesn't share the same opinion about Darth Vader, but that might just be because he's justifiably terrified of him.
* TheDragon: To Kallus.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's more than a little creeped out by the Inquisitors.
* MookLieutenant: The Grand Inquisitor's senior-most subordinate.
* OhCrap: Gets a look of utter horror on his face when told that Darth Vader's TIE was caught by their tractor beam, not the ''Ghost''.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: While he dislikes all the Inquisitors, Konstantine seems to have a particular dislike of Fifth Brother. Unsurprising, since it is Fifth Brother's fault that he was called away from an operation that had a very good chance of finally killing the ''Ghost'' crew.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: He has got light blonde hair.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He has trouble understanding why Rex would turn his back on the Empire and is surprised when Rex turns down his offer to have the Clone trooper reinstated into the Imperial Military in exchange for giving up his friends.
* InterserviceRivalry: He has a low opinion of the Imperial Security Bureau and he specifically gives the kill order on Ezra Bridger mainly because he doesn't want to admit Agent Kallus was right to be so cautious.
* MookLieutenant: As with all Imperial Admirals.
* ToThePain: He tells Rex that his death will be excruciating and that he's an ExpendableClone.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: The key reason for his defeat with the Interdictor is due to underestimating Ezra's abilities and not sending enough staff to keep him captured.
* WouldHurtAChild: Despite initially dismissing Ezra Bridger as a mere child to Agent Kallus, the moment Ezra escapes from his flagship's brig he issues a kill-on-sight order for Ezra, if only because he doesn't want to admit his mistake to Kallus.

A female human from Jelucan. Ciena grew up in the rural valleys of her homeworld in a culture that valued loyalty and honor above all else. She and her best friend and love Thane Kyrell join the Imperial Academy on Coruscant, where they graduate at the top of their class as pilots. From there, their lives take two very different paths as Ciena stays in the growingly tyrannical Empire while Thane defects to the Rebellion.
----
* AcePilot: She is one of the best [=TIE=] pilots to ever graduate from the Imperial Academy on Coruscant, and even after becoming a commander and officer aboard the ''Executor'' she is still sent on missions due to her skills.
* BreakTheCutie: By the Battle of Endor, she is a jaded cynic and her early idealism is completely destroyed.
* TheCaptain: Of the Star Destroyer ''Inflictor'', which she is given command of following the Battle of Endor. [[spoiler:She ends up crashing into Jakku during the battle above that world in order to prevent its capture by the New Republic]].
* DeathSeeker: Even she isn't sure if she becomes one, [[spoiler:telling Thane she does not know if she is glad he saved her life during the Battle of Jakku, which led to her being in the custody of the New Republic]].
* EmptyShell: After realizing the true nature of the Empire and the fact that her code of honor means she could never desert it, Ciena simply begins going through the motions, doing her duty but hoping that something will come along to end her service.
* FateWorseThanDeath: She starts to consider Imperial service this as well as a IronicHell due to how evil they've become. Her code of honor prevents her from ever stopping serving it.
* FriendlyEnemy: What Ciena and Thane morph into.
* HeelRealization: After having already started to become uneasy with the Empire, Ciena begins to understand how truly evil it is when her mother is framed by an Imperial official for corruption to cover up his own illicit doings and Ree gets a promotion for claiming to agree with her mother's sentence. Her realization that the Empire is not what she thought it was is cemented upon seeing the second Death Star.
* HonorBeforeReason: The valley culture of Jelucan places a massive emphasis on never violating an oath, even if it may be morally wrong not to do so. This belief is ingrained into Ciena, so even after she realizes the Empire is evil she continues to serve it as best she can, even though she is utterly miserable doing so.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She has a major case of this regarding the Imperial higher-ups. She always thinks the best of them and their motivations, even when it becomes abundantly obvious most of them are only out for themselves or sadistic bullies. Ciena even thinks that Tarkin is an admirable man who could become her mentor.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She unwittingly becomes this as she continually focuses on her loyalty to the Empire while becoming disgusted with Nash for doing the same. Ciena's own rationalizations about why to continue to serve the Empire despite it personally destroying her life are NotSoDifferent from Nash's.
* ImprobableAge: Given command of a Star Destroyer at only twenty-five, which she realizes is a total joke since it means the Empire is simply that desperate for competent officers in the wake of losing so many at the Battle of Endor.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: A highly competent and well-regarded Imperial officer who... saves civilians, watches out for her damaged wingmates, covers up for fellow officers mistakes or weaknesses, and takes time to reassure her scared subordinates that things will be fine.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Ciena swore an oath when she joined the Imperial Navy and she continues to abide by it long after she loses faith in the Empire as a nation.
* OddFriendship: With Thane due to their different and opposed cultures. The fact that it grows into a romance that continues even after Thane joins the Rebellion only increases how odd it is.
* RankUp: She is promoted several times throughout her career. The first is from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander alongside a transfer from the ''Devastator'' to the ''Executer'', due to the need for new competent officers in the wake of the Death Star's destruction. Ciena's next promotion to Commander occurs shortly before the Battle of Endor after several years of exemplary service and passing a loyalty test. Lastly, she is promoted in the wake of Endor to captain and given command of the Star Destroyer ''Inflictor''.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Among her friends who stay in the Empire after Alderaan's destruction, she is only one who is not an Imperial fanatic and attempts to do good, which includes rescuing civilians without orders.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Empire, even after understanding its true nature due to her culture demanding that she honor the oath of loyalty she swore.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Acknowledges the Empire can be harsh and cruel sometimes, but justifies it by its creation of order. She rationalizes the destruction of Alderaan as a failed effort to stop the Rebellion before all-out war could erupt, but later realizes that is wrong and that there is no excuse for the Empire's actions.
* WideEyedIdealist: She cannot see the Empire for what it really is for a long time, even after the destruction of Alderaan.

A human male from Alderaan, Nash is roommates with Thane Kyrell and Ved Foslo at the Imperial Academy on Coruscant. After graduating, he is assigned to the ''Devastator'' alongside Ciena Ree.
----
* AcePilot: Although not as skilled as Thane or Ciena, Nash still graduated near the top of their class at the academy.
* BerserkButton: Mentioning Alderaan puts him on edge, but implying that its destruction was unnecessary infuriates him.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Develops a case of this after the destruction of Alderaan.
* CorruptTheCutie: Started out as a nice easygoing idealist who was transformed by the Empire into a brutal fascist.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Combined with SanitySlippage: no one actually expects him to remain loyal to the Empire but he contorts his brain into a pretzel to make not only Alderaan's destruction justified but a moral sacrifice for the greater good. It makes him a terrifyingly loyal Imperial.
* KnightTemplar: In order to cope with the destruction of his homeworld, Nash becomes an Imperial fanatic. He is even glad the Empire built another Death Star, claiming they should uses it again and again until no one would ever dare to challenge the Empire's authority.
* LukeNounverber: One of many Star Wars characters who are named in such a manner.
* RankUp: Like Ciena, Nash is promoted and assigned to the ''Executor'' several months after the destruction of the Death Star. He is later promoted again to Commander in the aftermath of Endor and placed in charge of the fighters aboard Ciena's Star Destroyer ''Inflictor''.
* {{Revenge}}: After learning Thane is not dead and instead with the Rebellion, Nash wants nothing more than to kill him painfully. Swears vengeance upon the Rebellion [[spoiler:after he thinks Ciena died crashing her Star Destroyer on Jakku]].
* StalkerWithACrush: While his feelings for Ciena are not stalkerish at first, as time goes on he seems to become more and more obsessed with her, even managing to end up as flight coordinator on the ''Inflictor'' when it is assigned to her, with him happily noting it means they will get to see each other everyday from then on. Ciena, who by that point despises the Empire, is both creeped out and grateful for his feelings, since they are the only thing preventing Nash from realizing she no longer believes in the Empire and turning her over to the [[StateSec ISB]].
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He believes that once the Empire wins, the galaxy will know an era of peace and order unlike any other, and the Empire is thus justified in doing whatever it has to in order to crush opposition.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Mourned Thane's death for years, but within seconds of learning he was alive and with the Rebellion, Nash attempts to kill him in furious rage. He later decides that Thane was clearly a master deceiver who was never truly friends with anybody at the academy and probably lied about his family and past.
* WideEyedIdealist: At first; he believed that one day the Empire would provide all of its citizens the high standard of living that could be found on Alderaan. After his homeworld's destruction, Nash trades his idealism for fanaticism.

* AFatherToHisMen: Cares a great deal for those under his command, and does his best to raise the morale of the ''Herald'''s crew, who often suffer under the eccentricities of Verge. [[spoiler:Seitaron also murders Verge for their sake, after he decides that crashing the ''Herald'' into the rebels on Sullust is the only way to redeem himself and the crew for their failure to capture Chalis before she did too much damage to the Empire]].
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: How he feels about [[spoiler:murdering Verge, who had just ordered the ''Herald'' be allowed to crash into Sullust rather than escape after Chalis detonates an ion bomb aboard it. Seitaron could not stand the thought of allowing thousands of Imperials to die avoidable deaths just to satisfy Verge's twisted sense of loyalty, so he shot him, ordered the two loyal witnesses to go to the bridge and order the crew to withdraw from Sullust, and then allowed Chalis to escape so blame would fall on her for Verge's death]].
* NumberTwo: To Verge, who is officially in command of the ''Herald'' but selected Seitaron to captain her because of his experience and former connection to Chalis, which aids in the hunt for her.
* OddFriendship: Eventually forms one with Verge. Although he considers the Prelate to be insane, he finds Verge's dedication to the Empire admirable, notes that he is indeed a capable commander and predictive thinker, and concludes that his madness is not his fault, but he fault of his father raising him to worship Palpatine.

!!General Jylia Shale

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsAftermath Aftermath]]''

-->''"Putting so much time, and money, and effort, and people into the ecosystem of that massive battle station was a fool's crusade. Palpatine was arrogant."''

A legendary Imperial general and strategist, General Shale commands the Star Destroyer ''Ascent''. A few months following the Battle of Endor, Shale is among the high-ranking Imperials who gather at the conference on Akiva.
----
* DeterminedDefeatist: Despite her belief that the Empire has probably lost the war, Shale joins the other Imperials on Akiva in order to try and find some potential solution to bring it back from the brink.
* GenreSavvy: She is well aware of the Empire and the Rebellion's role in the story of the galaxy.
-->'''Shale:''' This isn't some kind of ''inspirational story''. Some scrappy, ragtag underdog tale, some pugilistic match where we're the goodhearted gladiator who brings down the oppressive regime that put him in the arena. ''They'' get to have that narrative. ''We'' are the ones who enslaved whole worlds full of alien inhabitants. ''We'' are the ones who built something called a ''Death'' Star under the leadership of a decrepit old goblin who believed in the 'darkside' of some ancient, insane religion.
* IgnoredExpert: She opposed the creation of the Death Stars, viewing them as excessive and costly creations that put too many high-ranking officers at risk if they were to be destroyed. Due to this, Shale was shunted aside during the last years of the Emperor's reign, even though her fears proved correct.
* InsistentTerminology: Among the Imperials who gather on Akiva, Shale is the only one who calls the Rebels the New Republic, acknowledging their victory over the Empire.
* LivingLegend: She is highly respected throughout the Imperial military.
* OnlySaneWoman: Among those gathered on Akiva, Shale is the only one who acknowledges that the war might truly be lost and that there is likely little hope of even forging a peace treaty with the New Republic. She even suggests that they might be spared if they surrender to the New Republic instead.
* WorthyOpponent: She considers Admiral Ackbar one, warning her fellow Imperials that he is a master strategist who should never be underestimated.

* RankUp: He starts out the story as a sergeant, and while he commits a couple of flubs early in the mission, [[YouHaveFailedMe nearly invoking the wrath of Darth Vader]], he's able to redeem himself and ends the story as a lieutenant.
* RapidAging: Due to being a clone, he still suffers from rapid aging, and has to be at least somewhere in his forties during the timespan of ''Tarkin''. Vader even wonders if perhaps this is affecting his skills or reaction time after he scrapes the Sith Lord's mediation chamber while loading it aboard the ''Carrion Spike''.
-->'''Darth Vader:''' Excuses won't suffice, Sergeant Crest, perhaps you are aging too quickly to remain on active duty.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Vader says this to him ''verbatim'' after he lets the ''Carrion Spike'' get stolen.

----
* {{Hypocrite}}: Often calls his fellow Imperials cowards, while he ran from the battle of Malestare as his garrison was overrun.
* InsistentTerminology: Corrects anyone who refers to him as Moff by angrily declaring he is a Grand Moff.
* {{Jerkass}}: Hardly surprising, since he is an Imperial Moff, but even the other Imperials find him extremely unpleasant to be around.

An Imperial sector governor over the planet Ryloth.

* BrawnHilda: She's pudgy but still somewhat physically imposing.
* BrilliantButLazy: She has very laid back command style, which is highly unusual for an Imperial officer. It comes from the fact that she is in a rut from the death of her wife. The events of the book cause her to drop the lazy part.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Loved her deceased wife dearly, and her death sent her into a spiral of depression and hedonism.
* FantasticRacism: Not of the traditional kind, but she chose her servants because their pale green skin matched the trees, which any way you slice it is extremely objectifying.
* FunctionalAddict: She is a spice user but she is still capable of doing her job. At least, when she is interested or motivated enough to do it.
* TheHedonist: She definitely was enjoying the fruits of her position in Ryloth.
* InsistentTerminology: She refers to her conscripted Twi'leks as ''servants'' not ''slaves''.

* DragonInChief: Mors does little besides lounge around in her moon compound with her slaves, with Dray taking up the task of running Imperial affairs on Ryloth, a situation he is more than happy to exploit.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:Even though Mors could easily capture Dray at the end of ''Lords of the Sith'', she instead opts to destroy his scout craft with a missile since he could reveal the full extent of Mors negligence to the Emperor if taken alive]].
* MookLieutenant: Dray is in charge of Imperial ground forces on Ryloth.
* NonActionGuy: He has not fired a blaster since basic training, and notes that if Cham or Isval tried to kill him at their meeting he would be totally doomed.
* NumberTwo: To Mors.
* OhCrap: Has two notable moments of this in ''Lords of the Sith''. The first is when he realizes that Cham has completely manipulated him for years. The second is when he learns that Cham's assassination plot was not targeting just Senator Orn Free Taa, but Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader.
* SanitySlippage: As the situation on Ryloth worsens and Cham manipulates Dray further, he becomes very clearly mentally unhinged.
* SmugSnake: Dray is a very arrogant man and this arrogance blinds him to the fact that other people are playing him. [[spoiler:Cham is more than happy to point this out]].
* TheStarscream: He is doing his damnedest to undermine Moff Mors and he has got his eye on her job.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: He thinks very little of Mors, believing her to be totally incompetent. However, even in their very first scene she catches him off-guard with several questions about the Free Ryloth Movement and has information which he does not, showing that his despite for her has blinded Dray to Mors very real capabilities.
* UnwittingPawn: To Cham, who manipulated Dray for years while Dray thought he was the one doing the manipulation. His realization that Cham has always held all their cards in their arrangement begins Dray's long and very painful downfall.

* PassedOverPromotion: Dray and his cronies were promoted over him, despite Borkas being more loyal and competent than them. Mors comes to regret doing that and apologizes to him.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Mors. He understands that her behavior over the past several years is due to grief over the loss of her wife, and although he admits he was angry about not being promoted and essentially ignored by Mors, Borkas still supports her one-hundred percent.

* GeneralRipper: Well, for one thing he has anybody who dares to tell the truth about what happened at Endor shot and he has imposed a total blockade on the Sector, turning it into his own personal fiefdom.
** And back when he was a junior advisor he convinced everyone that the best way to take care of the dissidents on Anoat (The planet) was to gas the entire thing. The entire planet became toxic and poisonous, forcing much of the population to flee from the polluted world.

The temporary captain of the ''Ultimatium'' while the regular captain serves on a committee, Sloane is an ambitious and talented officer from Ganthel who is among the first generation of new young officers entering the Imperial navy. Following the events at Gorse, Sloane rises through the ranks of the Empire, becoming an Admiral in command of the ''Vigilence''. In the aftermath of the Battle of Endor she attends a gathering of Imperials on Akiva to determine the future of the Empire.

* ArchEnemy: Is becoming one to Kanan Jarrus, going so far as to call him "My Hobby" during her appearance in ''[[Comicbook/StarWarsKanan Kanan]]''.
* BenevolentBoss: Shows a lot of concern for any competent officer under her command, forming a friendship with her longtime shuttle pilot Morna Kee and being very protective of her attaché Adea Rite.
* TheCameo:
** Appears in the short story ''Orientation'' as an officer cadet aboard a training cruiser.
** She appears for a few panels in issue 12 of ComicBook/StarWarsKanan.
* ConsummateProfessional: While Sloane is ambitious and wants to advance in the Imperial military, her primary concern is carrying out the Empire's will and enforcing its laws while acting composed and efficient. Thus, she gets rather frustrated by Count Vidian's ruthless and seemingly random actions, Chamas being a gossip, Deltic's obvious insanity, and her repeated interactions with Kanan, who enjoys trolling her immensely.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: She manages to see through just about all of Wedge's tricks when he jumps into the Akiva system on a covert recon mission.
* DeadpanSnarker: She has her moments.
-->'''Ottkreg:''' We're under attack!\\
'''Sloane:''' That's a common hazard during space battles.
* TheDragon: To Vidian during the mission to Gorse, and he ensures her loyalty by promising support in getting her captaincy of the ''Ultimatium'' made permanent. Later he even offers to help her become the youngest Admiral in the fleet, [[spoiler:which tips Sloane off on the fact that he is lying to her since the idea of her being a Admiral under thirty is ridiculous]].
** At the end of ''Aftermath'', Sloane is revealed to be reporting to [[spoiler:an unnamed fleet admiral who she had told the other Imperials on Akiva was dead]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She may be ruthless and ambitious, but she is taken aback by Vidian's plan to destroy Cynda to mine the thorilide easier, although this will destabilize Gorse and put the population at risk. She's willing to go through with it if it does benefit the Empire, [[spoiler:and when she discovers that Vidian altered the tests to show the thorilide wouldn't be destroyed she calls off the destruction of the moon and orders Vidian arrested]]. She is also creeped out by Lieutenant Deltic, who is far to eager to blow up Cynda.
* {{Expy}}: Currently shaping up to be one of Gilad Pellaeon, as she ordered the Imperial Navy's retreat from Endor and [[spoiler: is becoming the trusted subordinate to a mysterious fleet admiral with a [[WickedCultured taste for art]]]].
* FourStarBadass: Sloane gets hands-on with the violence a few times in ''Aftermath''. First, when she notices Jas watching the satrap's palace, Sloane immediately goes to the shuttle's weapons station and opens fire on her instead of ordering a stormtrooper to do it. Later, she personally leads a group of stormtroopers to [[spoiler:capture Norra, Jas, Sinjir, and Temmin in the sewers, and is the one who finishes off Mr. Bones when it tries to free them]]. Lastly, she effortlessly [[spoiler:kicks Pandion's ass, gutshots him with a blaster, and leaves him for dead in a exploding shuttle while she commandeers his Star Destroyer]].
* KickTheDog: When the Imperials are evacuating Akiva, she refuses to allow the governor and his guards to come with them, even though there's room aboard the shuttle ''and'' the locals will likely kill them in revenge for the governor's pro-Imperial policies, simply because he is [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no longer of any use]] to Empire now that Akiva is falling to the Rebels.
* KnightTemplar: She fully believes in the Empire and its mission to bring order to the galaxy. Even after the Emperor's death, she is determined to see the Empire restored and continue its mission.
* KnowWhenToFoldThem: As the ranking admiral at Endor following Piett's death, Sloane recognized the course of the battle as communications were lost with the Endor garrison and the Death Star. She recalled TIE Fighters and ordered a retreat to Annaj.
* OnlySaneWoman: Of the Imperials who gather on Akiva, Sloane is the only one who really tries to stay on task with finding a way to hold the Empire together while the others are more concerned with power plays, protecting their wealth, or offering non-solutions to the problems they face.
* PetTheDog: After capturing Wedge Antilles, she provides him medical treatment and apologizes for shooting him. Sloane is also disturbed by Tashu torturing Antilles.
* PragmaticVillainy: She has no problem blowing up a damaged mining transport (along with its crew) since getting a replacement vessel is quicker than the repair time. But she sees no point in and is disgusted by Vidian's plan to destroy Cynda, [[spoiler:especially once his lies regarding the thorilide surviving are revealed. Sloane is angry that he would sacrifice thousands of lives for his own personal gain and the detriment of the Empire (although she is more pissed that he was planning to pin the blame for everything on her)]].
** In ''Aftermath'', she is infuriated when she sees stormtroopers shooting into a crowd of angry civilians and forces them to stop, knowing that such violence will only further weaken the Empire's image and encourage more rioters.
* PrimAndProperBun: Wears her hair in this style, which is fitting for a no-nonsense, pragmatic, and highly official Imperial officer.
* RankUp: At the end of ''A New Dawn'', her temporary captaincy of ''Ultimatum'' is made permanent as a reward for her actions throughout the novel.
** By the Battle of Endor she's an Admiral.
* SurroundedByIdiots: In ''Aftermath'', the crew of the ''Vigilance'' are not exactly the brightest in the Imperial navy, leaving Sloane very frustrated with their poor performance and panicking at non-threats.
* SympatheticPOV: Her POV contrasts nicely with Vidian's, showing two different kinds of Imperial: Sloane, who is a true believer in the Empire and avoids kicking the dog (most of the time, anyway), and Vidian, who uses the Empire to advance his own interests and KickTheDog all the time. This continues in ''Aftermath'', where she is shown to give medical treatment to captured Rebels and despises several other Imperials who are far worse than her.
* TranquilFury: Nonchalantly shoots her PoliticalOfficer when he smugly comments about how the Rebels are running away (actually getting away from the Death Star, which is about to explode).
* VillainousRescue: When she [[spoiler:orders the Stormtroopers to arrest Vidian and fires on his ship, this allows Kanan, Hera, and Zaluna the opportunity to escape from him and the ship, and also saves Gorse from destruction]].

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''

-->''"We are receiving a signal from the tracker. They will not be able to outrun us for long."''

An admiral and commander of the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Relentless'', the personal vessel of the Grand Inquisitor. He oversees the blockade of Lothal during the hunt for the ''Ghost'' and commands several military operations against the growing Rebel network.

* SeventiesHair: Sports rather long sideburns like many of the Imperial officers in ''A New Hope'', although the addition of Konstantine's PornStache takes this trope even further than any of them.
* AscendedExtra: Becomes a part of the main cast of Imperials in the second season of ''Rebels''.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: The awesomely [[AlliterativeName alliterative]] Kassius Konstantine.
* BadBoss: He reassures his tractor beam officer that he knows it was not his fault that he caught Darth Vader's TIE in the tractor beam instead of the ''Ghost''. Then he notes that Vader will not know that.
* DoesNotLikeMagic: He dislikes working with Inquisitors, dismissing them as "mystics". He doesn't share the same opinion about Darth Vader, but that might just be because he's justifiably terrified of him.
* TheDragon: To Kallus.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He's more than a little creeped out by the Inquisitors.
* MookLieutenant: The Grand Inquisitor's senior-most subordinate.
* OhCrap: Gets a look of utter horror on his face when told that Darth Vader's TIE was caught by their tractor beam, not the ''Ghost''.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: While he dislikes all the Inquisitors, Konstantine seems to have a particular dislike of Fifth Brother. Unsurprising, since it is Fifth Brother's fault that he was called away from an operation that had a very good chance of finally killing the ''Ghost'' crew.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Derek Partridge
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''

An Admiral in the Imperial Navy and the commander of an experimental Interdictor cruiser and its escorts operating in the Del Zennis system.

* AffablyEvil: He shows a degree of reverence for the person Rex was before deserting the Empire, even referring to him by his actual name. Once Rex makes it clear that he's not going back to the Empire, Titus gets serious and drops any kindness he showed earlier.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: He has got light blonde hair.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He has trouble understanding why Rex would turn his back on the Empire and is surprised when Rex turns down his offer to have the Clone trooper reinstated into the Imperial Military in exchange for giving up his friends.
* InterserviceRivalry: He has a low opinion of the Imperial Security Bureau and he specifically gives the kill order on Ezra Bridger mainly because he doesn't want to admit Agent Kallus was right to be so cautious.
* MookLieutenant: As with all Imperial Admirals.
* ToThePain: He tells Rex that his death will be excruciating and that he's an ExpendableClone.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: The key reason for his defeat with the Interdictor is due to underestimating Ezra's abilities and not sending enough staff to keep him captured.
* WouldHurtAChild: Despite initially dismissing Ezra Bridger as a mere child to Agent Kallus, the moment Ezra escapes from his flagship's brig he issues a kill-on-sight order for Ezra, if only because he doesn't want to admit his mistake to Kallus.

[[folder:Ciena Ree]]
!!Captain Ciena Ree (LP-888)

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsLostStars Lost Stars]]''

A female human from Jelucan. Ciena grew up in the rural valleys of her homeworld in a culture that valued loyalty and honor above all else. She and her best friend and love Thane Kyrell join the Imperial Academy on Coruscant, where they graduate at the top of their class as pilots. From there, their lives take two very different paths as Ciena stays in the growingly tyrannical Empire while Thane defects to the Rebellion.

* AcePilot: She is one of the best [=TIE=] pilots to ever graduate from the Imperial Academy on Coruscant, and even after becoming a commander and officer aboard the ''Executor'' she is still sent on missions due to her skills.
* BreakTheCutie: By the Battle of Endor, she is a jaded cynic and her early idealism is completely destroyed.
* TheCaptain: Of the Star Destroyer ''Inflictor'', which she is given command of following the Battle of Endor. [[spoiler:She ends up crashing into Jakku during the battle above that world in order to prevent its capture by the New Republic]].
* DeathSeeker: Even she isn't sure if she becomes one, [[spoiler:telling Thane she does not know if she is glad he saved her life during the Battle of Jakku, which led to her being in the custody of the New Republic]].
* EmptyShell: After realizing the true nature of the Empire and the fact that her code of honor means she could never desert it, Ciena simply begins going through the motions, doing her duty but hoping that something will come along to end her service.
* FateWorseThanDeath: She starts to consider Imperial service this as well as a IronicHell due to how evil they've become. Her code of honor prevents her from ever stopping serving it.
* FriendlyEnemy: What Ciena and Thane morph into.
* HeelRealization: After having already started to become uneasy with the Empire, Ciena begins to understand how truly evil it is when her mother is framed by an Imperial official for corruption to cover up his own illicit doings and Ree gets a promotion for claiming to agree with her mother's sentence. Her realization that the Empire is not what she thought it was is cemented upon seeing the second Death Star.
* HonorBeforeReason: The valley culture of Jelucan places a massive emphasis on never violating an oath, even if it may be morally wrong not to do so. This belief is ingrained into Ciena, so even after she realizes the Empire is evil she continues to serve it as best she can, even though she is utterly miserable doing so.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She has a major case of this regarding the Imperial higher-ups. She always thinks the best of them and their motivations, even when it becomes abundantly obvious most of them are only out for themselves or sadistic bullies. Ciena even thinks that Tarkin is an admirable man who could become her mentor.
* {{Hypocrite}}: She unwittingly becomes this as she continually focuses on her loyalty to the Empire while becoming disgusted with Nash for doing the same. Ciena's own rationalizations about why to continue to serve the Empire despite it personally destroying her life are NotSoDifferent from Nash's.
* ImprobableAge: Given command of a Star Destroyer at only twenty-five, which she realizes is a total joke since it means the Empire is simply that desperate for competent officers in the wake of losing so many at the Battle of Endor.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: A highly competent and well-regarded Imperial officer who... saves civilians, watches out for her damaged wingmates, covers up for fellow officers mistakes or weaknesses, and takes time to reassure her scared subordinates that things will be fine.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Ciena swore an oath when she joined the Imperial Navy and she continues to abide by it long after she loses faith in the Empire as a nation.
* OddFriendship: With Thane due to their different and opposed cultures. The fact that it grows into a romance that continues even after Thane joins the Rebellion only increases how odd it is.
* RankUp: She is promoted several times throughout her career. The first is from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander alongside a transfer from the ''Devastator'' to the ''Executer'', due to the need for new competent officers in the wake of the Death Star's destruction. Ciena's next promotion to Commander occurs shortly before the Battle of Endor after several years of exemplary service and passing a loyalty test. Lastly, she is promoted in the wake of Endor to captain and given command of the Star Destroyer ''Inflictor''.
* TokenGoodTeammate: Among her friends who stay in the Empire after Alderaan's destruction, she is only one who is not an Imperial fanatic and attempts to do good, which includes rescuing civilians without orders.
* UndyingLoyalty: To the Empire, even after understanding its true nature due to her culture demanding that she honor the oath of loyalty she swore.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Acknowledges the Empire can be harsh and cruel sometimes, but justifies it by its creation of order. She rationalizes the destruction of Alderaan as a failed effort to stop the Rebellion before all-out war could erupt, but later realizes that is wrong and that there is no excuse for the Empire's actions.
* WideEyedIdealist: She cannot see the Empire for what it really is for a long time, even after the destruction of Alderaan.

[[folder:Nash Windrider]]
!!Commander Nash Windrider

->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsLostStars Lost Stars]]''

-->''"Alderaan had to die for the Empire's true power to be acknowledged. My homeworld's end was also the end of the Imperial Senate, the end of the countless petty power struggles that had plagued Palpatine's early reign. Only then was the Empire's true strength revealed."''

A human male from Alderaan, Nash is roommates with Thane Kyrell and Ved Foslo at the Imperial Academy on Coruscant. After graduating, he is assigned to the ''Devastator'' alongside Ciena Ree.

* AcePilot: Although not as skilled as Thane or Ciena, Nash still graduated near the top of their class at the academy.
* BerserkButton: Mentioning Alderaan puts him on edge, but implying that its destruction was unnecessary infuriates him.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Develops a case of this after the destruction of Alderaan.
* CorruptTheCutie: Started out as a nice easygoing idealist who was transformed by the Empire into a brutal fascist.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Combined with SanitySlippage: no one actually expects him to remain loyal to the Empire but he contorts his brain into a pretzel to make not only Alderaan's destruction justified but a moral sacrifice for the greater good. It makes him a terrifyingly loyal Imperial.
* KnightTemplar: In order to cope with the destruction of his homeworld, Nash becomes an Imperial fanatic. He is even glad the Empire built another Death Star, claiming they should uses it again and again until no one would ever dare to challenge the Empire's authority.
* LukeNounverber: One of many Star Wars characters who are named in such a manner.
* RankUp: Like Ciena, Nash is promoted and assigned to the ''Executor'' several months after the destruction of the Death Star. He is later promoted again to Commander in the aftermath of Endor and placed in charge of the fighters aboard Ciena's Star Destroyer ''Inflictor''.
* {{Revenge}}: After learning Thane is not dead and instead with the Rebellion, Nash wants nothing more than to kill him painfully. Swears vengeance upon the Rebellion [[spoiler:after he thinks Ciena died crashing her Star Destroyer on Jakku]].
* StalkerWithACrush: While his feelings for Ciena are not stalkerish at first, as time goes on he seems to become more and more obsessed with her, even managing to end up as flight coordinator on the ''Inflictor'' when it is assigned to her, with him happily noting it means they will get to see each other everyday from then on. Ciena, who by that point despises the Empire, is both creeped out and grateful for his feelings, since they are the only thing preventing Nash from realizing she no longer believes in the Empire and turning her over to the [[StateSec ISB]].
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: He believes that once the Empire wins, the galaxy will know an era of peace and order unlike any other, and the Empire is thus justified in doing whatever it has to in order to crush opposition.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Mourned Thane's death for years, but within seconds of learning he was alive and with the Rebellion, Nash attempts to kill him in furious rage. He later decides that Thane was clearly a master deceiver who was never truly friends with anybody at the academy and probably lied about his family and past.
* WideEyedIdealist: At first; he believed that one day the Empire would provide all of its citizens the high standard of living that could be found on Alderaan. After his homeworld's destruction, Nash trades his idealism for fanaticism.

[[folder:Tabor Seitaron]]
!!Captain Tabor Seitaron

->'''Appears in:''' ''Literature/BattlefrontTwilightCompany''

A teacher at the Imperial Academy on Carida, Seitaron is brought back into active service shortly before the Battle of Hoth by Prelate Verge of the Advisory Council in order to assist in the hunt for Everi Chalis, a former Imperial advisor who defected to the Rebellion and whom Seitaron had dealt with in the past.

* EveryoneHasStandards: He is often disgusted by Verge's methods of punishing failure or mistakes, which includes torture.
* AFatherToHisMen: Cares a great deal for those under his command, and does his best to raise the morale of the ''Herald'''s crew, who often suffer under the eccentricities of Verge. [[spoiler:Seitaron also murders Verge for their sake, after he decides that crashing the ''Herald'' into the rebels on Sullust is the only way to redeem himself and the crew for their failure to capture Chalis before she did too much damage to the Empire]].
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: How he feels about [[spoiler:murdering Verge, who had just ordered the ''Herald'' be allowed to crash into Sullust rather than escape after Chalis detonates an ion bomb aboard it. Seitaron could not stand the thought of allowing thousands of Imperials to die avoidable deaths just to satisfy Verge's twisted sense of loyalty, so he shot him, ordered the two loyal witnesses to go to the bridge and order the crew to withdraw from Sullust, and then allowed Chalis to escape so blame would fall on her for Verge's death]].
* NumberTwo: To Verge, who is officially in command of the ''Herald'' but selected Seitaron to captain her because of his experience and former connection to Chalis, which aids in the hunt for her.
* OddFriendship: Eventually forms one with Verge. Although he considers the Prelate to be insane, he finds Verge's dedication to the Empire admirable, notes that he is indeed a capable commander and predictive thinker, and concludes that his madness is not his fault, but he fault of his father raising him to worship Palpatine.
* OldSoldier: Fought in the Clone Wars and subsequently helped establish the Empire's rule across the galaxy before becoming an instructor at the academy on Carida.

An officer in command of the ''Defiance'', a training ship for the Imperial Navy.

* CharacterDeath: Vader uses the Force to snap Baylo's windpipe after he accidently presses Vader's BerserkButton when noting Palpatine would turn all his cadets into mindless robots to do his bidding.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Shows no fear upon learning his plot to kill the Emperor and Vader has failed, and instead continues to rail against Palaptine until Vader kills him.
* KilledMidSentence: Vader kills him in the middle of TheReasonYouSuckSpeech against the Emperor.
* OldSoldier: Served the Republic for nearly fifty years, and claims to be even older than Palpatine.
* TheRemnant: Baylo still remains loyal to the Galactic Republic, rather than the government that succeeded it.
* ThanatosGambit: He attempts to assassinate Emperor Palpatine, Darth Vader, and four navy chiefs by flying the ''Defiance'' into a star.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He is willing to kill all of his cadets if it means ridding the universe of Palpatine and Vader, and notes that them dying would be preferable to him than watching them become mindless officers for the Empire.

* DoubleReverseQuadrupleAgent: Feeds information to the New Republic to further his above plans.

A legendary Imperial general and strategist, General Shale commands the Star Destroyer ''Ascent''. A few months following the Battle of Endor, Shale is among the high-ranking Imperials who gather at the conference on Akiva.

* DeterminedDefeatist: Despite her belief that the Empire has probably lost the war, Shale joins the other Imperials on Akiva in order to try and find some potential solution to bring it back from the brink.
* GenreSavvy: She is well aware of the Empire and the Rebellion's role in the story of the galaxy.
-->'''Shale:''' This isn't some kind of ''inspirational story''. Some scrappy, ragtag underdog tale, some pugilistic match where we're the goodhearted gladiator who brings down the oppressive regime that put him in the arena. ''They'' get to have that narrative. ''We'' are the ones who enslaved whole worlds full of alien inhabitants. ''We'' are the ones who built something called a ''Death'' Star under the leadership of a decrepit old goblin who believed in the 'darkside' of some ancient, insane religion.
* IgnoredExpert: She opposed the creation of the Death Stars, viewing them as excessive and costly creations that put too many high-ranking officers at risk if they were to be destroyed. Due to this, Shale was shunted aside during the last years of the Emperor's reign, even though her fears proved correct.
* InsistentTerminology: Among the Imperials who gather on Akiva, Shale is the only one who calls the Rebels the New Republic, acknowledging their victory over the Empire.
* LivingLegend: She is highly respected throughout the Imperial military.
* OnlySaneWoman: Among those gathered on Akiva, Shale is the only one who acknowledges that the war might truly be lost and that there is likely little hope of even forging a peace treaty with the New Republic. She even suggests that they might be spared if they surrender to the New Republic instead.
* WorthyOpponent: She considers Admiral Ackbar one, warning her fellow Imperials that he is a master strategist who should never be underestimated.

* MookLieutenant: Commands Darth Vader's personal guard on Murkhana.
* RankUp: He starts out the story as a sergeant, and while he commits a couple of flubs early in the mission, [[YouHaveFailedMe nearly invoking the wrath of Darth Vader]], he's able to redeem himself and ends the story as a lieutenant.
* RapidAging: Due to being a clone, he still suffers from rapid aging, and has to be at least somewhere in his forties during the timespan of ''Tarkin''. Vader even wonders if perhaps this is affecting his skills or reaction time after he scrapes the Sith Lord's mediation chamber while loading it aboard the ''Carrion Spike''.
-->'''Darth Vader:''' Excuses won't suffice, Sergeant Crest, perhaps you are aging too quickly to remain on active duty.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Vader says this to him ''verbatim'' after he lets the ''Carrion Spike'' get stolen. [[spoiler:Although it seems as if a Force-choke is in Crest's future, Vader postones executing him, and Crest manages to redeem himself by capturing crime lord Faazah's warehouse. For this, Vader not only spares his life but promotes him.]]

A powerful Imperial Moff in command of the Star Destroyer ''Vanquish''. Several months after the Battle of Endor, Pandion attends a conference of high-ranking Imperials on Akiva to determine the course of the Empire.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Often calls his fellow Imperials cowards, while he ran from the battle of Malestare as his garrison was overrun.
* InsistentTerminology: Corrects anyone who refers to him as Moff by angrily declaring he is a Grand Moff.
* {{Jerkass}}: Hardly surprising, since he is an Imperial Moff, but even the other Imperials find him extremely unpleasant to be around.
* TheRival: Considers Admiral Rae Sloane to be one, since she is the only other Imperial at the conference who has more power and resources than him.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He is just a regular Moff in command of single Star Destroyer, but promotes himself to Grand Moff in the aftermath of Endor as a way to raise his station.

The head of the Arkanis Academy, Commandant Hux is also the founder of a secret society called the "Commandant's Cadets", made up of handpicked cadets selected by Hux to undergo advanced tests and training to make them more loyal and effective for the Empire. Following the defeat of the Empire, Hux fled with his family into the Unknown Regions along with other loyalists, where he became one of the founders of the First Order.

* EvilRedhead: He is greying a bit, but his hair is still noticeably red and he is evil even by the standards of the Empire. His son would inherit this trait.
* KarmaHoudini: Even under the Empire, many officers would be appalled at his tactics, and Lieutenant Chiron is assigned to investigate Hux's secret activities. However, since Chrion is killed during Zare's rescue of his sister, all the information Chiron gather on Hux is lost and he continues his work, which eventually becomes the foundation of the First Order's stormtrooper training.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Realizes the Empire does not want what's best for its people, but is caught by Kallus before she can join a rebel cell.

* YouRemindMeOfX: Kallus apparently told her "A part of you is like me when I was [[JuniorCounterpart younger]]."
